Lin Jinyue looked at Tan Xue.
Tan Xue didn't want Ye Feng to cause trouble for his family because of her, so she said, "It's better not to."
Lin Jinyue fully respected Tan Xue's opinion.
Their village is wealthy and has sufficient armed forces, so there's really no need for those ancient "marriage alliance" scenarios.
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Let's count..."
Ye Feng quickly said, "Hey, don't bother calculating. My parents are very wealthy. The late emperor bestowed many treasures upon them. My mother is a business genius, and our family's businesses are all over Jiangnan."
“I’m in your hands. You can ask for whatever price you want to extort, and my parents will definitely pay.”
Lin Jinyue fell silent once again.
Although he was tempted, he still looked at Tan Xue.
Ye Feng, being cunning, pulled Tan Xue to the other side.
Ye Feng racked his brains and finally came up with a reason: "Ah Xue, you know my parents aren't very bright, they might... do something wrong."
Tan Xue frowned: "The mistake you're talking about isn't that they've already contacted Prince Jing?"
Ye Feng nodded. "They were behind my back, but I saw my mother and Princess Jing having tea together. My father also seemed to have more money in his pocket. After I found out, he stuffed a lot of jewelry into my hands and told me not to tell my mother."
Ye Feng lowered his voice and, after making sure no one was around, continued, "Take these boxes of treasures; my father definitely won't dare to pursue the matter."
Tan Xue couldn't help but laugh when she recalled the extreme tug-of-war between Marquis Yong'an and his wife.
Thinking that these boxes of treasures were the private stash of money that Marquis Yong'an had painstakingly hidden away, only to have it all taken away by that treacherous Ye Feng...
It's a bit tragic and a bit funny to think about.
Ye Feng had no qualms: "I'm just trying to save my dad's life. No matter how much money he spends, it's not much. I'll cause them some trouble first, and hopefully lure them to Lingnan, so they won't spend all their time thinking about how to climb the social ladder."
Ye Feng thought about it more and more and it made more sense; without him, the Prince's Mansion would fall apart.
If his father really listened to Prince Jing's nonsense, he would definitely be sent out as cannon fodder. If Prince Jing lost, his father would be the first one to be pushed out to die.
After all, his father isn't very bright and is easily taken advantage of.
Tan Xue looked at him suspiciously, "Do you really have such a meticulous mind?"
Ye Feng touched his nose.
Although he did come out for Tan Xue's sake, these things were indeed something he came up with on the spur of the moment...
As long as the result is the same, that's fine.
After hearing Ye Feng's words, Tan Xue decided not to let him go back.
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Lin Jinyue had no reason to object. After Ye Feng promised that all the money he had extorted would be hers, she had even less reason to refuse.
The village needs money for construction, and weapons development also needs money.
There was a god of wealth she desperately wanted.
Lin Jinyue accepted the box of treasures without any qualms and said to him, "By the way, if you come to our village, you have to abide by our village rules."
Ye Feng nodded vigorously.
Right now, he's already thinking about how to quickly make it a done deal and marry Tan Xue in a grand and glorious way, so his parents won't say anything.
As a result, Lin Jinyue's next sentence was: "Our village does not oppose dating, but you need to be over 20 to get married."
This time, Ye Feng fell silent.
I thought to myself, this village is really meddling in other people's business.
However, seeing that Tan Xue also shared this view, he nodded in agreement.
With sufficient funds, Lin Jinyue's first priority was to develop infrastructure.
Build more roads and more shopping malls and buildings.
The city wall has been under construction secretly lately, and we need to speed things up.
Military matters were also taken into account; cannons were installed at intervals along the city walls, and several wealthy households generously provided boats.
In all that busyness, they completely forgot about Ye Feng, their cash cow.
In the end, Ye Feng himself came to Lin Jinyue and said, "You two find a way to send this letter to the Marquis of Yong'an's residence."
Fearing that Lin Jinyue might not be at ease, he even opened it for her to see.
The letter was filled with tears, detailing how miserable his life was in Yunhe Village, where he could only eat spoiled steamed buns. He said that this group of people had taken over the mountain and wanted his parents to bring 10,000 taels of silver so that he could have fresh steamed buns every day.
Goodness, Ye Feng is really ruthless.
Ye Feng also negotiated with her: "This ten thousand taels of silver, you and Xue will each have half."
Lin Jinyue naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
She now feels that the best thing she ever did was risking her life to save Tan Xue and her grandson.
She truly hadn't expected that Tan Xue's childhood sweetheart was not only a hopeless romantic but also incredibly wealthy.
He deliberately sabotaged his parents.
Lin Jinyue sent a letter, and seeing that Ye Feng was following her, she asked, "Is there anything else?"
Ye Feng was a little embarrassed. "Can my parents and I temporarily stay in your village?"
In just a few days of staying in Yunhe Village, Ye Feng had completely understood why Old Tan insisted on staying there.
And you know what? It's perfectly safe here.
He almost got caught by the patrol team when he got up to use the bathroom at night.
To say he's damaging the environment, he should go to the outhouse.
It was a bit awkward, but seeing them patrolling day and night, and with those incredibly powerful crossbows, I suddenly felt that this place was reliable.
What reassured Ye Feng even more was that when they tested the cannon, Tan Xue and Old Master Tan went along and took him along as well.
Seeing the power of the cannon, Ye Feng felt that no matter what method was used...
Even if it means being shameless, I will stay in Yunhe Village.
Upon hearing his question, Lin Jinyue replied, "Have you read all the rules of our village?"
Ye Feng nodded vigorously: "If Xue doesn't need servants, so can I. My parents will definitely bring a lot of people with them. You can take them in if you want."
